Our 5 weeks "Architecture for All" course with Homeschoolers has ended. This was an amazing learning journey for me as this was the first time to give my course onsite. Definitely much more fun than online classes. π₯³
(Check my previous post for course content. )
I'm so amazed with homeschooling community for standing against societies expectations and creating their own unique utopia. I've been working with HS community long enough to know that it takes a great courage. May Allah give barakat to all their efforts. π
None of the kids wanted the class to finish and they would keep on working on their projects. I'm so grateful to be the teacher of that class. And I'm so grateful to get to meet with such brilliant young minds. Thank you all for joining. π
I don't have any pics from some days because we would be so lost on the design and no time would be left for pics. π

I'm keep on coming back to "Light" topic because c'mon look at this. Like how it is almost like a solid object dancing between leaves and even through galaxies. Go and watch "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" 5th episode if you are also obsessed with light topic. Lebanese photographer Serge Najjarβs βThe Architecture of Light" series is also definately should be seen.
For architects, light is a fascinating element to play with. It can become the star of the show.

Mothers workshop. ππ»
No, you don't have to be a mother. This workshop is open for all sisters. ππ»
I kept on hearing from mothers "This looks so fun, I also wanna do it" whenever they bring their kids to my workshops, so let's do it. π₯³
Let's meet this Tuesday (7. 11. 23 | 9-11 am) to quality outdoor with like-minded mommies and build a mud house.

Who is with me? π₯³
What is better than having a quality time with like-minded people? Recently I really feel the need of some mommy meeting, some productive time away from children responsibilities, if you feel the same Let's meet up. ππ» Maybe Tuesdays 9:30 to 11 am (near Shadman area). I'm just trying to get an idea if this time&location suits people. What you guys think?
